Jones, Tom - 16 Tons Lyrics






[1vsl]
Some people say a man is made out of mud well a poor man's made outta
muscle and blood..Muscle and blood and skin and bone..and a mind
that's weak..but a back thats strong.
[2vs]
And he was born one morning when the sun didn't shine..
He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines
He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal..Til-
the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul!
[CHR]
You load 16 tons and whaddaya get??
another day older and deeper in dept
Saint Peter don'tcha call me 'Cause-
I can't go...I owe my soul to the Company
Store
[3vs]
So if you see him coming..you better step aside,-
Alot of men didn't and alot of men died.
He's got one fist of iron, and the other of
steel..And if the right one doesn't get you..
Then the night one will...
[CHR]

    Hi Sandy.

    West Virginia underground coal miner I am.

  11. �.... �....

    Круто

  12. S.... Y....

    New respect for TJ!

  13. �.... �....

    Сикстин тонз не его. Его, это: сексбомб сексбомб. Не надо месить пошлую попсятину, даже при наличии хороших вокальных данных, с серьёзными, хоть и народными, произведениями. 16 тонн не тема для мьюзикла. Это тема для драммы или оперы.

    �.... �....

    По-Вашему, безголосые аматоры а-ля Cash etc. достойны темы для драмы, тем более - оперы - больше?

    �.... �....

    MAGO TU VOZ ENLOQUECE 👌👌

  14. S.... M....

    I like it very much this version.

  15. �.... �....

    Легенда ещё поёт... .))😊🌹 🌹 🌹

    Великий ГОЛОС!!!!!

    �.... �....

    нил нилов Но его лучшее сексбомб

  17. w.... b....

    Tom looks like a piece of burnt pizza at 0:00

  18. �.... �....

    Бог дал ему правду голоса человечности.. звучания наших душ..

  19. R.... R....

    His biography says he has worked in a mine.

    R.... R....

    Roscio RoscioTube oh that's why it's says 16 tons of stone

    R.... R....

    Tom never worked in the mines-he had TB when he was 12 and,as a result, he was told not to go in the mines.

    R.... R....

    His father and his uncles were coal miners, Tom became a soul miner. He did carry hods for a while before he he made it in music.

  20. P.... R....

    Just made sixteen tons my ringtone thanks Sir Tom XXX

  21. q.... ....
